Hi this is Rob, the singer in Cohen Unlimited and I have just found this great forum thanks to Janet Armstrong.
Thanks for accepting me in.
We have 2 shows in Ireland this week, Friday 24th June Monroe’s Galway, a wonderful venue that has hosted many great Cohen nights and Saturday in an Tain arts centre Dundalk. A beautiful theatre. 200 tickets gone for this one but still some left.
Hopefully I will meet many of you in the future and if you’re going please say hi after the shows.
We’re in crown live, Wexford on September 3rd as well.
